Single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy of isotropic-scattering medium: An analytic perspective to the ratio-of-remission in steady-state measurements
(MDPI, 2014-12-16)
Recent focused Monte Carlo and experimental studies on steady-state single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy (SfRS) from a biologically relevant scattering medium have revealed that, as the dimensionless reduced scattering ...
Diffuse optical tomography to monitor the photocoagulation front during interstitial photothermal therapy: Numerical simulations and measurements in tissue-simulating phantoms
(De Gruyter, 2014-08-06)
Near-infrared interstitial photothermal therapy (PTT) is currently undergoing clinical trials as an alternative to watchful waiting or radical treatments in patients with low/intermediate-risk focal prostate cancer. ...
Troubleshooting blackbox SDN control software with minimal causal sequences
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2014-08-17)
Software bugs are inevitable in software-defined networking control software, and troubleshooting is a tedious, time-consuming task. In this paper we discuss how to improve control software troubleshooting by presenting a ...
Knowledge and practices of residents in two north Namibian towns with regard to rabies and pet care
(Informa UK Limited, 2014)
Recent studies have highlighted the epidemiology of rabies in southern Africa and the unique nature of kudu rabies in Namibia. However, the serious effect on human populations in northern Namibia lacks focused attention. ...
Novel thermostable xylanase GH10 from Malbranchea pulchella expressed in Aspergillus nidulans with potential applications in biotechnology
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-29)
Background: The search for novel thermostable xylanases for industrial use has intensified in recent years, and thermophilic fungi are a promising source of useful enzymes. The present work reports the heterologous expression ...
Sex specific expression and distribution of small RNAs in papaya
(BioMed Central, 2014-01-13)
Background: Regulatory function of small non-coding RNAs (sRNA) in response to environmental and developmental cues has been established. Additionally, sRNA, also plays an important role in maintaining the heterochromatin ...
MicroRNA and mRNA expression profiling in rat acute respiratory distress syndrome
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-28)
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by pulmonary epithelial injury and extensive inflammation of the pulmonary parenchyma. Systematic analyses of microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA expression ...

(Emerald Publishing, 2014)
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a selected list of free and subscription Web resources for film and television (screen) studies.
Low seroprevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in blood donors in central Namibia
(Informa UK Limited, 2014)
Although emphasis has been placed on research relating to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis and malaria, several researchers in Africa are focusing on other threats to human health, such as neglected tropical ...
LacSubPred: Predicting subtypes of Laccases, an important lignin metabolism-related enzyme class, using in silico approaches
(BioMed Central, 2014-10-21)
Background: Laccases (E.C. 1.10.3.2) are multi-copper oxidases that have gained importance in many industries such as biofuels, pulp production, textile dye bleaching, bioremediation, and food production. Their usefulness ...
